Abstract

The present paper focuses on conducting research in the field of technical support by assistance systems in order picking for people with cognitive disabilities. One of the goals is to present the prototype of an assistance system for manual order picking (called pick-by-projection), which is the result of an interdisciplinary and user-centered process with and for people with cognitive disabilities. Additionally this paper aims at presenting results of a first evaluation with 24 employees with cognitive disabilities, who were testing pick-by-projection in comparison to three methods of the current state of the art.
